About Ilene

I offer quality, caring attention to my clients. I want people to feel safe to explore their struggles, feel their deepest feelings, and find the best ways to move forward in their lives. My orientation integrates both the personal and the transpersonal, ordinary and non-ordinary states of consciousness, modern Western perspectives and Eastern wisdom, intellectual and intuitive ways of knowing.

I believe that the therapist's consciousness and own personal spiritual journey matters when working in this deeply personal way with people. I have come to believe that the work also deepens with life experience and the wisdom age brings.

My role is to guide, mentor, witness, coach and enlighten when I can, always in an atmosphere that is encouraging, non-judgmental and unconditionally supportive.

Some principles I adhere to

A belief in the basic goodness of each individual as well as the universe as a whole

That human beings are both psychological and spiritual in nature

That every person is doing the very best they can at every moment or they would do better

Accessing inner wisdom is both possible and necessary for growth

That human beings possess different internal parts that must be acknowledged and worked with

The recognition that each person is essentially part of a larger whole
